M. Etienne :resembles those Physicians who enrich themselves in the period of epidemic diseases ; and with all due deference to him, I will still express my-desire to see the French tliuistry labour seriously to reform abuses, and remove from impor- tant platies men who are unworthy of them, either from want of talents oral) abuse of them. I would hare it crush at once he Jacobins, whether black or white, or of whatever' colour they may he, and give, by a vigourous and franl: • line of policy, a shtlicient guarantee to the friends of the Throne and the Charter. Then, but only then, they will obtain in the Chatn beis a preponderating and indestructible Majority ; but if they wait for the impulse of these bodies to administer an eth cacious remedy to the evils which afflict France, they see the Royal Authority pass Wm the bands of the Chambers, and the destruction of the Throne and public Liberty will be the sad consequence of their weakness. APRIt sp. —tn my letter of the 18th, on the state of Parties in France, I did not sufficiently discriminate the class of Ultra Royalists, and not having time to re-peruse my letter before I dispatched it, the omission is calculated to pro pagate am error which I hasten to correct, and which is the more necessary, as yonr flattering Commentary is calculated to give much additional importance to it. It might he con strued from my letter that I consider all the old Nobility as enemies of the Thr.itne ; this opinion I never intendtd to ex -press, as I knew it Would be not only an error but a crying in-, justice. There ran he no doubt that there are agreat number of the -Incites Pritiile„ele..4-AVise regret for what they have lost is greater than their attaelinwitt to the Throne, and these regrets throw them into the party of the Opposition, a con duct highly to be condemned. But truth requires me to add that there are many old Plebeians who follow the same route, and are not less ardent. Therefore the Ultra Royalist Party, led by a certain number of the old privileged classes, have mauy adherents who never had any privileges. On the other hand I would observe, that amongst the Independants and the Ministerialists there are great numbers who belong to old and illustrious families, whose names shine in every page of French Histtiry ; it Would therefore be a great error to suppose that the . old Nobility, as a body, form exclusively Party. At present, as formerly, the King has in his,Coun .sels, in his Army, and in the Tribunals, faithful and devoted subjects, whose names do honour to France. These men place their glory in being Royalists, and are proud of being Patriots- It is the peculiar merit of the Charter that it has elevated the third estate without , ldWering the Nobility but it is not leas 4rue that the desire to usurp the . rights Of the erown has survived, in the minds of sonic of n that .class, the thirty years of Revolution which had for its evident object the annihilation of , every trace of feudal : power. My opinion, thus modified; will be more conformable to truth, and more worthy of the consi deration of your numerous readers. Far, far belt from my intention ever to write one line, of thttruth of which I have notthe most complete moral conviction; for by 07 disse mination of ti uth alone can we hope to attain the desirable end of enlightening all classes, front the Throne totlic Cot tage, as to their real interest or their reciprocal rights st,4 duties.

" Mr. WATSON, "37, Surrey4strret, Strand, Lonclort. Hence it has been inferred that HUNT does not - intend to preside at the Meeting which is -con vened for this day in Spa-Fields. We have little fear of the consequences, as Government, we know, have taken effectual means to preserve public tranquillity. It would be astonishing to find WATsoN taking a 'part in these transactions, after his late fortune:it .and extraordinary escape, if such Politicians could possibly be cured of their infatuation. We subjoin the toll Owing Nut ice also, which may perhaps deter the democratic Desperadoes from • holding their seditious Meet ing ; and while we approve of the conduct of the writer, we cannot but express our surprise, as wtll as regret, - that he did not give a similar warning on the former occasion, and an earlier one on the present. It was, however, posted in the neigh bourhood of Spa-Fields on Saturday last. "CAUTION.—MAY 2, hereby give Notice, that the Field commonly cal Spa-Field is!my private Property, and Caution every Person against Trespassing thereon in any wanner whatever; and I also give further Notice, that every Person who shall hereafter be found so Trespassing will be Prosecuted according to Law.

ROYAL ACADEMY. Opt Saturday, the 2d inst. the Members of the Royal Academy gave their Anniversary Dinner at their apirAinents in Somerset-place;witich v, as at tended by a numerous assemblage of guests of the first rank and talent ; 'among whom were— The Duke ,of Sussex; the Prussian, French, Spanish, Swedish, Uanish, American, Netherlands, and Bavarian Ana 'bass:Mors the Lord Chancellor; Dukes of Norfolk and NOrthumberland; Marquisses Stafford, Lansdowne, Camden, and Anglesey; Earls Westmorland, Morton, Liverpool, Mul grave, Harrowhy, Whitworth, Yarmouth' Besborough, Spencer, Grey, Lauderdale, • Lonsdale, Aberdeen, Powis, Grosvenor ; Viscount Palmerston ; Lords Chief Jtistice Gibbs, Brownlow, Rivers, Erskine; Bishops of Loudon, Salisbury, and.:Chesier; Right Hon. the Speaker;' N.

Rogers, T. Moore, G. A. Ro binson, ft. P. Knight, G. Hibbert,W. Wilberforce, etc; Scc. &c. We have to add to the above account of the Visitinrs whuittiended this-Annual Festival on Sa turday, that the President appeared to be in per fect :health, and he conducted himself 'with his usual attention and courtesy. The Duke of Sus• SEX sat •on his right, hand, and the Lord CHAN CELLOR on the left. The Duke addressed the com pany ,t wire, and with his usual gond humour; once. in r-e!urn ,for having . his' health given as a toast, as President of the-Society for the Encou ragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, anal again for the same compliment to his personal character. lie spoke. in terms of warm respect and kindness of the venerable President .01 t he Acadymy, who expressed his due sense in return. fur this . flattering notice.' On the health -of the Foreign Ambassadors being given, the American Ambasador replied in a short speech, remarkable for its propriety and the happy precision of• ex pression at its close. The Earl of ABERDEEN, President of the. Antiquarian Society, was absent on account of indisposition. The Marquis of STAFFORD, the Earl of GROSVENOR, anti the LORD MAYOR, severally returned thaiiks for the compliment of having their healths respectively given. The Dinner was suitable to the dignified character of the Persons who honoured it with their presence, and marked the magnificent hos pitality by which the Royal Academy always tits.; tinguishes this gratifying Anniversary. It is proper to observe that the Dither was admirably served. But the chief feast arose, from the view of the achievements of British Genius, which co vered the room, and excited a sense of patriotic pride, (rent) a contemplation of such a combination of excellence in the Arts as we may presume to say .cannot be. equalled by any other country in Europe. It is a curious fact, that in the debate on the revival of the SALT DUTY,, in 1731, stated by Dr. SMOLLET in his History, vol. 2, page 509', the Country Gentlemen observed, that this Tax was the most burthensome to the Poor of all the impositions to which .the Poor bad beets sabjected, and. had therefore been taken otf; that it was most- pernicious to the trade of the kingdom, and would ruin Our nranulae tures. The measure was carried by the Minister, Sir ROBERT IVALPoLE, with great difficulty. We have great pleasure in announcing the pub lication of the first Volurne of Archdeacon CoxE's long-expected Memoirs of John ,Duke of 'Marl borough. The. Author has had the honour of sending copies to the QUEEN, the Panics Rs- . GENT, and Prince LEOPOLD, by whom they were graciously received.

A verdict of Guilty was recorded, on the defendant agreeing to pay all expenses.

RARA Avis.—On Saturday'lwo, Prince, the gamekeeper of the. Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. shot, near his Lordhip's mansion, a curious bird, which, On investiation, proves to be the hoo poe, and exactly resembles the one figured in Ed wards's Gleanings of Natural History, except that it is rather larger. It is remarkable for 'Towering crest of long feathers tipped with black, and but rarely occurs, - though a migratory bird, , in this country. It is common in most parts of he Contineut of 'Europe, and oecasionallyfound in he East Indies, part icolarly at Ceyloill. Its %15114 Still is that of a blackbird. C ollsr I
